Keep the Xmen tense around him, don't let them relax, keep them off guard so that when he needs to he can discard them.Plus, the way he asked Pyro "What's your real name?" was a wonderful moment.I also think that the whole Jean Grey death was handled well. She couldn't have used her powers to that extent inside the plane because 1) it would have screwed up the electronics as it did when she got an overload at the beginning and 2) the flames and energy might have hurt everyone else in the room. Perfectly reasonable.I loved this movie, I didn't think that there were any plot holes at all. And Storm's line to Nightcrawler was, to me, an example of a character changing their mind about someone, having witnessed what they are really like over the course of time. Plus, she's a good leader, and good leaders know what to say to get their troops to do what's necessary!Finally, the oh-so-subtle Phoenix in the water was far better than anything else. It tips off those in the know, it goes right past people that don't know, and if you catch it you might get curious. Any blatant Phoenix symbol in the snow would have been about as original as Jean's hand bursting through the water wreathed in flames.</blockquote>
